No. Sailors wear white hats and thats pink so that lady is, as suggested, is probably a Queen.

Not with the montblanc star clearly visible on the cap on the table ... :)

 

There are also a few subtle differences in the curvature of the tines and pen shape that do not seem to be Sailor.

 

And I do wonder whether the yellow spot above the knuckle may be a reflection of the spotlight ... but it's quite hard to differentiate from a sticker isn't it?

In Rotation: Parker DuoFold Centennial / Duofold / GvFC

In storage: Too many to name.

My MB 146 was bought for me by my then girlfriend on our first visit to London together, and she bought it for me in Harrods, and it cost her over two weeks wages. It has been used regularly ever since, and next year will be our 30th wedding anniversary.

Well done snapping her up after that demonstration of good taste and sense. :thumbup:

But is it a 149, a 147, or even a 146? Anyone know HM's glove size for comparison? I expect that's covered by the Official Secrets Act.

P.S. The Royal Range Rover ran out of fuel, so she had to take the B line back to the airport.

Don't be fooled by the pink charade - maybe not a Sailor but certainly special ops...

Actually Her Britannic Majesty is quite the Sailor. Until a few years ago, she frequently sailed aboard and entertained aboard her royal yacht HMY Britannia - a yacht she and HRH Prince Philip designed, one of the largest yachts afloat, and still one of the most tasteful.

 

Sailor? Yes, quite. Sailor pen? No.

It is too bright to be the nib size label. I had not originally looked at the cap on the table, but found that the bright spot was a little to high to be the arm of a filling lever. I expected nothing less of her knowing exactly what to do with the pen. Replace the cap, but not screw it closed because someone else probable needed it right after her. She was careful with the pen because she knows what they are, I am sure what they cost, and that after she used it, it was very special to someone. The older she gets, the more fascinating she becomes.

 

FYI. For the British citizens that wish to abolish the monarchy because of cost to the country really needs to take a look at what kind of tourist revenue they bring in compared to what they cost. Much of that cost is the upkeep on properties that the government would still have to keep up without them. Or they could let Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and etc fall in disrepair. 90% of the reason foreigners travel to Great Britain has to do with the Monarchy’s achievements of present and past. Just my 2 cents.

Who mentioned getting rid of the monarchy? They are probably on other forums, you know the sort True Crime Writers or perhaps Football Foot Soldiers etc etc Most people on here are too well read for that sort of nonsense.

It would be a great picture to license. Most of the time you need a microscope to identify the pen, and/or person is not clear. This one is great.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
